Alas, I am already committed to playing Badminton that night and so will be unable to join you.

According to the BBC website, he was drinking alcohol and eating cheese at an (the?) airport lounge at London City airport and so that was probably the source of his Port. Therefore, just need to establish what Port they serve there…My guess would be a standard ruby.

Yes, count me in, have various mags that are readily accessible.

I’m in (train strikes depending).

Merry Christmas to all fellow Port heads! Had a rather wonderfully mature N60 last night and today the F70 will be making an appearance

Yes, thanks Tom and fingers crossed that nothing goes awry at the last minute this year! Now just to find a suitable unknown bottle…

I believe that SWR will be running a limited service and so currently am still attending. Alas, I have now seen the strike timetable and apparently my last train back from Waterloo is 5.45pm! Therefore, I will need to leave this tasting to those London domiciled tasters and those with overnight lod...

S70 decanted at 2.45pm. Not tried. Eta 6.30ish

Usual for me (both done to perfection last time) ie:
Truffle Mac n cheese
Steak (M-R) and frites with the green beans etc

Thanks

On a rare foray into the office in Reading on Thursday I purchased one at Aldi and there were a number still on the shelf. Wonder whether this one of those tested at that Dutch lab…

Am also now booked into the Cricketers and so that’s three of us for a taxi.

Could work for me.

Apologies for the tardinesses but food order is my current usual being:
Truffle man n cheese
Steak (M-R) and frites with green beans and the shallots

Thanks

I’m still up for this. Can offer a S70 (WS bottling).

Getting back on topic, two more (that I don’t believe have been mentioned thus far) to add to the 80s pantheon:

the too rarely seen Ni80 and the RP82 (which I think is better than the 83)

Righto, I may still purchase a couple of bottles for potential use later

Am assuming that this is still going ahead? I can’t match a RV31 but will try and dig out a Cr55, which I found again the other day.

I also notice that ND John in Swansea has the TV 2008 and so if we wish to undertake a further comparison, I’m due to be in Swansea in a couple of weeks time and so could pick one up then if required?

Mine arrived this pm. It's now next to the first edition and pre publication version.Any more versionso and I fear that I will have to reinforce the shelves!

Yes, count me in also.

Could work for me.

EDIT : or maybe I am an idiot and we need to wait nine years for that to work

I seem to recall 18/11/81 -not only palindromic but the same inverted!

Either date in Feb works for me.

More than happy to accept although unable to offer any TTF or TV from those particular vintages.

I’m interested.
